A sharply angular display face built from tall, condensed stems and dense vertical rhythm. Strokes read as nearly monolinear, with blocky slab-like feet and flat terminals that are frequently cut into with triangular notches, giving many joins a faceted, chiseled look. Counters are tight and rectangular, and several letters rely on steep diagonals and pointed wedges rather than curves, producing a mechanical, hard-edged texture. Spacing appears compact with strong color in text, and the design holds a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its dense vertical rhythm and angular detailing can read clearly—posters, headlines, editorial titling, album/film graphics, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of text in themed layouts, but the tight counters and aggressive cut-ins make it less comfortable for sustained small-size reading.
The overall tone is gothic and forceful, mixing blackletter-like severity with an industrial, poster-oriented bluntness. Its sharp inktrap-like cuts and spurs add drama and a slightly menacing edge, while the rigid geometry keeps it feeling constructed and authoritative rather than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, pairing stout slabs with carved, spiked detailing to evoke a gothic-industrial aesthetic. It prioritizes strong silhouette and rhythmic verticality for attention-grabbing titles and branding applications.
The lowercase shows simplified, vertical constructions that can resemble small caps in texture, reinforcing uniformity in lines of text. Several glyphs feature distinctive internal cutouts and wedge-shaped details that become prominent at larger sizes and can reduce clarity at small sizes.
